I remember seeing videos of Eruption on the Roaming Robots/Robots Live circuit and it was an absolute beast that looked like it could do well in Robot Wars if it had ever gotten rebooted. It was only a matter of time...
With the amount of insanely powerful vertical spinners and fork ground game in Battlebots Eruption wouldn't be a good fit, they're an amazing bot but they benefit a lot from arenas with pits and out of the arena zones, in the Battlebots arena they would probably get super trashed by the first bot that had any ground game. The gas tank is just too bulky to build a solidly armored bot around and they rely a lot on the razor edge of their flipper, one mistake driving, that lip is gone and the bot is effectively useless. Think of how most Subzero fights end up and although I think Eruption is a better built bot, it wouldn't change the end result that much.

Eruption was a bully!.
@@joeandrews7329 Just like you. 😁
@@MarkSW What gibberish!.
Now if only Eruption would come to BattleBots
Not easy to enter.
Apollo tried entering battlebots as orion, but it has been unable to participate for one reason or another
Michael said he was planning on building a spinner.

@bami2 We've seen Eruption win against Carbide. Another powerful spinner
Eruption did live up to his namesake in the arena!.
The guys came from Lymm, Cheshire. The Crushtacean team came from Cheshire!.
